I dig the Monkees man! They had some good tunes. Plus, we should thank Davy Jones for making some other guy named David Jones change his last name to Bowie. If it wasn't for Davy Jones, we wouldn't have the Axl dance!

All the girls around my age were really bummed out at the news. Back during our childhoods, Davy and Mickey were 100x bigger heartthrobs than Justin Bieber is today. Jones was even on the Brady Bunch, once (remember the one where Davy kissed Marcia's cheek and she said she'd never wash her face again?).

News radio reports yesterday were playing Monkees songs and saying Davy was lead singer and sang on such hits as ... and then they named songs -- including whatever song they played in the background -- and all the songs they played, and named, had MICKEY as the lead singer. Duh.

Ugh. That's the worst. Even if they didn't want to go with Daydream Believer, there are so many awesome songs he sung to choose from: I Wanna Be Free, Look Out Here Comes Tomorrow, A Little Bit You A Little Bit Me, Forget That Girl, She Hangs Out, Cuddly Toy, Star Collector, Valleri, Someday Man...

The Monkees were so awesome, dig up a copy of HEADQUARTERS or PISCES, AQUARIUS, CAPRICORN & JONES, LTD and listen to them before you throw out those old boomer-era tropes about their "legitimacy" or "coolness".

G was channel-surfing just a few nights ago and I looked up from reading a book and said, "wtf, the MONKEES are on?" and we watched the episode that had Rip Taylor in it and I said to G, "You know, back when we were kids, we thought this show was hilariously funny, but now it's just kinda stupid" but then they did the part of the show where the did a song and they did Cuddly Toy. The lyrics are bizarre. Davy Jones was really short. And he always danced like in this video.
